Gold !!!!!!!
Well I managed to get out for 3 hours this morning. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and I was on the field where I found my avatar last year. Unfortunately only half the field had been plowed but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth . The 2 halfpennies were right next to each other and the 2 Rose farthings were about 10 or so feet apart. About an hour into the hunt I found the Elizabeth 1st threepence dated 1573 or 5, so I decided to really scour that part of the field. The next find was the crotal bell, still with ringer inside then I found a little brooch in the shape of a butterfly. I then moved closer to the houses and that's when the Xp gave a really strong signal and out popped a 1925 Gold sovereign from the Pretoria mint. It's not perfect but gold is gold .
Here are the pics
1. All the bits except the Sovereign
2. Lizzy Threepence obverse

Because it's always hammer time

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'

Excellent. Banner.
If it doesn't make it, I will be certain that there is an anti-British conspiracy.
Well done.

Re: Gold !!!!!!!
Why so weird for gold there? I would think that with all that went on in WWII, it wouldnt be that unusual to find gold, or even caches of gold..
Beautiful coin, great finds... Voted Banner...
